Mr G decided to experiment yesterday. He saw a recipe on the back of the ‘CSR Havelock Pure Icing Sugar’ packet which caught his eye. I have to admit, it is quite good. The taste is a cross between a Sujee biscuit and Shortbread. I reckon this biscuit would be good as a Hari Raya or Diwali fare. Well, here it is.

Cream ¼ cup sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Add the plain flour and half of the almonds. Mix to a firm dough.

Using 1 tbsp of mixture, roll into 8 cm lengths. Carefully roll biscuits in remaining almonds and place onto prepared trays in a crescent shape.

Bake for about 12 mins or until light golden brown. Allow to cool on the tray for 5 mins before transferring biscuits to a wire rack. While still warm, heavily dust the biscuits with the extra pure icing sugar. Ready to eat.
